FIGHTING FIRE WITH GAS.
The Use of Chemical Engines in Cot
ton Fires-A Suggestion.

The Use of Chemical Engines in Cot
ton Fires-A Suggestion.
1t has been suggested that the city can
prevent the great losses that are entailed by
cotton fires by the purchase of "a chemical
FIRE extinguisher. These engines are in use
in New Orleans, where there have been
three fires this season, and III every case the
loss was trifing. When the fire was dis
covered the matches were closed, hole was
cut in the deck and the hose put through it.
The engine was then started to work and in
few minutes the compartment was filed
with carbonic acid gas, that extinguished
the flames at once and did no damage to the
cotton which had not caught fire. Thus
the losses were insignificant Had
the compartments been flooded,
as they are at this port when
fires break out the losses would hav- been
as heavy as they are here. In the case of
the Resolute, the damage done by fire was
about 500, by water about 100000, and the
expenses incurred, the result of the use of
water, about $35, 900, aggregating nearly
100000, but had chemical engine been
used. the loss would have been covered by
the first item of $500. These engines have
given satisfaction in New Orleans, and of
such great service have they proved that
the city has had several tugs fitted with
them. SO as to be able to use them on vessels
not moored at the wharves.

Gossip of the Deal.
No news has yet been received from the
conference that is said to be sitting at
Griffin to discuss the consolidation of the
Birmingham and Atlantic Airline, the
Birmingham, Georgia and Florida, and the
Griffin and Lagrange railroads The
MORNING NEWS has endeavored to gain some
information in regard to the meeting, but
so far as can be learned there has been no
conference at Griffin. Maj. j. A. A. West,
General Manager of the Airline was seen
yesterday, but he declined to say anything
whatever about the matter One story is
that the Birmingham and Atlantic people
heard of the Fort Valley extension scheme
of the Central, and that they got up the
consolidation to work as a bugaboo to
scare off the Central. knowing that if it did
build an airline to Fort Valley the
Birmingham and Atlantic would be dead
fish in the pond. Both schemes are pro-
nounced bluffs. Most of the directors of
the Savannah, Dublin and Western are
here, evidently awaiting the result of
some ISSUE ostensibly the consolidation
conference, but none of them will talk in
regard to the matter.

A Negro Woman Jumps from Train
and is Killed.

Adeline Davis, a negro woman, went into
the Bull street ticket Office of the Central
railroad yesterday and asked for ticket for
five-mile post. Assistant Agent Nungezer
told her that he could not sell her one, as
she could hot get off at that point, but that
he could sell her a ticket to Pooler, the
nearest station. She bought ticket to
Pooler and left on the up-bound passenger
train yesterday morning.
As the train neared the five mile post and
was crossing a switch, the woman jumped
from the platform of the forward car. She
struck the crosstles, breaking her back and
crushing in her skull A frightful cash
was cut in her forehead. One shoulder
blade was broken, and her flesh was torn
and cut by the fall She was a large, stout
: woman, and fell heavily, and died in few
minutes after her jump.
The railroad company sent out special
car on which the Coroner went out and
brought the body to the city. The inquest
will not be held until tomorrow, when the
trainmen who were witnesses of the accident
will be in the city.
The train was running at the usual rate
of speed and the woman's jump was nothing
more than leap to death She was seen
standing on the car platform. but nobody
supposed she was going to jump.

which will be given during the winter The
first one was given last week. Songs, recita-
tions and talks by the seamen compose the
programme. Refreshments are served by
the ladies Of the society, and every means is
taken to engage the interest of those whom
the society seeks to reach and benefit. Al
the concert last week bouquets of flowers
were pinned upon the coats of ever sailor
present, and Jack went away smiling ano
happy. The entertainments will be con
tinued during the winter.
